what is the estimate quotient for 233 divided by 6?
6 into 24 is 4
How about 40?
To find the estimated quotient for 233 divided by 6, you can use the method of long division. Here's how to do it:
1. Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (2) by the divisor (6). Since 2 divided by 6 is less than 1, the estimated quotient will be 0.
2. Write 0 above the division line and multiply it by the divisor (6). Write the product (0) below the first digit of the dividend (2).
```
0
------
6│ 233
0
```
3. Subtract the product (0) from the first digit of the dividend (2). Write the result (2) below the line.
```
0
------
6│ 233
0
------
2
```
4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (3) and append it to the remainder.
```
0
------
6│ 233
0
------
23
```
5. Divide the new number (23) by the divisor (6). The result is approximately 3.
```
03
------
6│ 233
0
------
23
18
```
6. Multiply the estimated quotient (3) by the divisor (6). Write the product (18) below the number (23) you just divided.
```
03
------
6│ 233
0
------
23
-18
```
7. Subtract the product (18) from the number (23). Write the result (5) below the line.
```
03
------
6│ 233
0
------
23
-18
------
5
```
8. Since we have no more digits to bring down, the division process ends here. The quotient is approximately 39, and the remainder is 5.
So, the estimated quotient for 233 divided by 6 is 39, with a remainder of 5.
